Reusable Stationery
THE SCIENCE OF REUSABILITY: SURFACES - GENERAL TECHNOLOGIES​
​
The core of reusable stationery lies in the specialized writing surface. Unlike traditional paper, these products utilize smooth, non-porous materials. Common examples include specially coated whiteboard films, laminated surfaces, or other proprietary films designed for repeated writing and erasing. These surfaces prevent ink from penetrating the material, allowing it to sit on top for easy removal. This characteristic is crucial for the erasability of reusable stationery. The smooth texture also provides a pleasurable writing experience, similar to writing on high-quality paper.​​​
THE SCIENCE OF REUSABILITY: LIVELONG'S UNIQUE COATING
​
Livelong reusable notebooks utilize a unique, organic coating applied to durable paper. This coating shares the characteristic of preventing ink penetration, allowing for clean erasure. However, the key difference lies in its composition: Livelong's unique organic coating is made from plant-based materials and is designed to be fully compostable and recyclable within standard paper recycling streams, contributing to a circular economy. This commitment to organic and sustainable materials makes Livelong reusable notebooks a truly eco-friendly choice.​
THE SCIENCE OF REUSABILITY: CORRECTABLE PENS - INK TECHNOLOGY
​
Correctable pens employ a specialized ink formulation. This ink dries quickly to prevent smudging during writing and handling, yet remains non-permanent for clean erasure. Unlike whiteboard ink, designed for large, vertical surfaces, correctable ink resists smudging when pages are closed or handled. This feature is essential for reusable notebooks, maintaining the clarity of notes until intentionally erased. In contrast to permanent ink, which penetrates not only paper fibers but also adheres strongly to most surfaces, becoming nearly impossible to remove, correctable ink remains on the non-porous coating, allowing for complete removal.​
THE SCIENCE OF REUSABILITY: CORRECTABLE PENS - STAEDTLER LUMOCOLOR
​
The Staedtler Lumocolor Correctable 305 series is an excellent choice for use with Livelong Reusable Notebooks. These pens are specifically designed for erasable surfaces, offering smooth and consistent writing performance. This series comes in various colors, and Livelong offers sets with a single black pen or a four-color assortment. Known for their durability, these pens, when used properly, boast an approximate write-out length of 1200 meters, ensuring long-lasting performance. The fine (F) tip offers a balanced, thin (0.6 mm) line suitable for various writing and drawing tasks.​
THE SUSTAINABLE CHOICE:
​
The combination of Livelong's sustainably produced, reusable, and compostable organic coating and specially formulated correctable ink offers a compelling alternative to traditional paper stationery. This system minimizes paper waste, conserves valuable resources, and promotes sustainable practices, making Livelong an eco-friendly choice that benefits both individuals and the planet.

Livelong Usage Tips
LONGER LIFE
Protect your pen's tip by recapping it whenever you pause writing, even briefly. This simple habit will significantly extend its life.
INK'S FLOW
In the event the pen tip dries out from being left uncapped, gently applying pressure to the tip on a writing surface may restore ink flow.
CLEANING THE PAGES
To erase notes, use a slightly damp sponge, ensuring excess water is squeezed out. Avoid using a heavily saturated sponge, as this could damage the specialized coating on the pages.
DRYING THE PAGES
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the entire page with a soft cloth or paper towel before closing the notebook. This prevents smudging and ensures optimal reusability.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
To maintain the integrity of the pages and overall notebook structure, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. This prevents potential warping or damage to the pages and binding.
PEN COMPATIBILITY
For best results, use pens or markers specifically designed for erasable surfaces. Using incompatible writing instruments may result in permanent markings or damage to the page coating.
PAGE PROTECTION
While the pages are durable, avoid excessive pressure or bending, which could cause creases or damage the coating.
SPONGE MAINTENANCE
Keep the cleaning sponge clean and free of debris to avoid scratching the page surface.
DIGITAL ARCHIVING
Livelong notebook pages are designed with a contrast frame around the page layout, facilitating easy identification and accurate capture during scanning and saving a digital record of your work.
